Shnayim Yomi - Vayeishev - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling - The Scandal of the Century

I would like to welcome back all of the listeners and thank you for joining. Okay, Rabai. So, we made it to the end. Actually, we're not by the end yet, but we're going to try to get to the end now with Hashem's help. So, we're holding and you made it. So, keep up the good work. All right. So, what did we leave off with? Anybody? All right. So, we left off with the fake news. Fake news. spreading stories about and how because of him this issue happened and therefore he has to be thrown into prison all that stuff that we [snorts] know is fake that wasn't true but upon him this is what wanted this was the plan and therefore that is what happened now we also know that Hashem controls every single thing in this world including the story on page six on the bottom and the headlines and the backstory and the cover story Hashem controls everything you got what I'm trying to say in other words. [clears throat] Every newspaper and every headline is controlled by and therefore decided that right now it's time for the to forget Ysef. It's time for everybody to forget what happened. And therefore, we're going to change what's going on in the news so people would forget. And guess what? The biggest scandal in Egypt is about to take place. It's a great thing to think about, you know, when it comes to politics and all of the things in the world. Just remember that Hashem controls everything. Don't think like this is happening because of this and no it's cuz the headlines. Hashem controls the headlines. But anyways, what was the scandal? So the baker and the cup bearer these are two people that are very very close to king to the king par the the king of Egypt which is the powerhouse of the world at that time. And obviously they trusted Pare trusted them very much. They sinned against Par. One of them there was a fly in the wine and one of them there was a rock in the stone in the bread. And this is uh this is a huge scandal. I can't believe it. the two trusted people of power, they tried to kill him or something. Wasn't really killing him, but whatever it was, this was a big news. Imagine one of these countries like with the dictators that we have today. Imagine what would happen if they found a fly in their food. You know what I'm saying? Or a stone. They'd be killed. So, it's a pretty crazy story. But anyways, what happens? They both get locked up in the same prison as Ysef was put in charge of them after a year of being there. Each one of them has a dream. And that happened on the exact same night. Okay. The next morning, Ysef sees them and he sees that they're down. He sees like their heads are down and they're downcast and he says, "Why are you down?" Like, "What's going on, guys? We're we're here in prison." Exactly. We're here in prison for a year. No, but that's not really what they said. They ended up saying, "The reason why we're down is cuz we had a dream. Each one of us had a dream and there is nobody to interpret these dreams for us and they're very scary. We know it's real, but we don't know what to do." So, Ya said, "Ah, there's no need to panic. Who's the one who controls all dreams? Hashem is the one. He's the one who knows the dreams. tell them over to me and bes with the help of Hashem I'll be able to tell you what these dreams mean what's the explanation and that's what happened each one tells what the dream is listens and he interprets each one accordingly now to the cuper he tells him you're going to end up going back to your job everything's going to be fine you're going to be forgiven in 3 days time and to the chief baker he said you're going to be killed and obviously there were very very deep things in the dreams that were about kf you take a look at the midash if you want and this is all going happen in 3 days. That is what Yadik tells them. And 3 days later it is Par's birthday and that is exactly what happened. Exactly what YV said is what happened. And the para ends with Yadik asking the cup bearer to remember him. Try to remember me. Remember me when you go to par. Maybe you can mention my name and try to get me out of prison. I'm sitting here for a crime I never committed. And there's a lot to talk about here. Tomorrow we're going to discuss a few different ideas in the para. This is the para and I hope that it was clear. I hope that was able to gain from it and all of us getting close to say thank you so much for joining and have a wonderful day.
